I'm keeping track of "good sales"by starting a price book (I only started it last night and have noticed what a difference this is going to make to our grocery budget already!) My husband is currently in Las Vegas on a bachelor party that was planned over a year ago but with all due respect to him he managed to save up to pay for this with money outside of our budget, it has actually opened our eyes to what we can save by selling items on ebay etc. I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you...goodluck!Chrissy Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058926948643949828.post-56956707289730720892012-01-04T12:21:47.757-08:002012-01-04T12:21:47.757-08:00This is great!

Godd luck, I'll be praying for you....I just thought we could do it to, but I've already spent money on clothes for the kids....jeans had holes in their knees! <br />Maybe we could do it in Febuary and it only has 29 days in the month. Please keep us posted and yes thank goodness you have some gift cards from Christmas, good thinking :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158319205844106883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058926948643949828.post-66095168450090514692012-01-03T13:33:11.774-08:002012-01-03T13:33:11.774-08:00this is hard. honestly, we try to live like this ...this is hard. honestly, we try to live like this each month as much as possible. we're about to pay off some medical debt this month. hallelujah! best wishes for your goals... may the Lord provide for you like never before!carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601211338190358077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058926948643949828.post-3933995309850291842012-01-03T13:05:43.684-08:002012-01-03T13:05:43.684-08:00Oh boy, this is something we need!
